Sperino 2021 Uvaggio Coste Della Sesia Rosso

The De Marchi family operates their Lessona based estate focusing on sustainable farming and traditional winemaking techniques. Their Coste della Sesia is a blend of parcels from Bramaterra and Lessona, striking a beautiful balance in the wine.

The profile leans quite savory, tingly red berries playing a supporting role here with dried flowers, roses, and mushroom notes too. The finish is savory and delicate with vibrant minerality. 80% Spanna (Nebbiolo), 15% Vespaiolo, and 5% Croatina. Fermentation starts with natural yeasts in open topped wooden fermenters. Skin maceration lasts 23 days, with regular punch-downs. The wine then remains 12 months sur lie and then is aged for 22 months in a mix of barrique, barrel and 15-hectolier oval casks.
